That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N5491W's record changes.
The pilot was returning from a 1-hour local area flight. Upon landing, the airplane bounced slightly, and after the tail wheel touched down, the airplane veered sharply to the right. The pilot attempted to maintain directional control with left rudder and brake; however, the airplane departed the runway and into the grassy area between the runway and taxiway. As the airplane slowed, it turned sharply to the right, which allowed the right wing to contact the ground. The pilot thought that the left brake may have failed after touchdown, but due to the damage to the landing gear assembly it was not possible to perform a brake inspection. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector examined the airplane with no mechanical anomalies identified.
